Conor shared some photos of him holding Alfie in the stadium as he wrote: "Special day bringing the little man to his first game at the aviva."
Followers loved the adorable snaps, with one person writing: "The luck of Alfie! Great win for Ireland. May he follow in his dads footsteps."
"Beautiful, making wonderful memories with Alfie," another gushed.
A third wrote: "This makes me happy bro! Congrats to you and your family. Congrats to you and the team on the win. I hope to make it to Ireland to see you play some day!"
Joanna also shared a snap of the special moment on her Instagram story, writing: "Alfie's first match."
Joanna and Conor, who tied the knot last year, announced the birth of their first child via Instagram in October.
The black and white snap saw the newborn baby lying down in a blanket, with his little hands wrapped around Conor and Joanna's fingers.
"Alfie Murray - 22/10/24," Joanna captioned the snap.
It wasn't long before they were flooded with well wishes.
"Huge congratulations gorgeous! So happy for you both," one follower wrote.
"Ahhh massive congrats," said another.
While a third person said: "Congratulations! lovely news".
The couple announced the news of their pregnancy back in summer, one year after tying the knot in Portugal. Conor and Joanna are currently based in Limerick, but might move to Dublin as a family of three in the future.
He previously told RSVP: "I’ve been with Munster all of my career. I’ve at least another year left.
"Where we’ll go after is the million dollar question. We are in Limerick at the moment, but she is from Derry.
"We drove up there the other day and I am still tired from it. So we will go for somewhere in the middle, maybe. Dublin could be the ideal landing spot when rugby finishes up.
"I was looking at house prices and they are a bit saucy. Moving house and having a baby at the same time could be too stressful. We’ll chill out in Limerick for a while."
